Research

My current research is in the intersection of natural language processing, machine learning and learning through interaction. My research focuses on various questions about the nature of language, how it can be learned and the situated nature of its meaning. Specifically, I am interested in learning to automatically recover the meaning of language in situated interactive environments using the weak signal generated by system interactions.
